Quantum Device Design Workshop: Superconducting Qubits
Workshop Goals
The Quantum Device Workshop is designed to teach advanced undergraduates and graduate students the art of designing quantum devices. This year we have a 4-day hands-on workshop on how to effectively design superconducting qubits.
We will cover basic theory and simulation techniques, best practices, and general constraints for designing superconducting devices. We will offer a beginner track and an advanced track so that people of all different skill levels can gain something from this event.
There will be an in-person registration for the lectures, workshop, and panel sessions. Attendants can also register for an online-only session for the lectures and limited workshop sessions*.
In-person registration has closed, while online registration will remain open until May 14th!
*There may be some computational resources that we will try to provide that may not be fully available asynchronously.
Location
The Quantum Device Workshop will be hosted in person at the Tesla and Shannon Rooms of Engineering IV, 420 Westwood Plaza, Los Angeles, CA 90095
The Zoom link* and link to code notebooks for the online-only sessions will be released to the participants closer to the workshop date!
*This is subject to change depending on which platform works best for our the needs of the workshop
